Physical and geoacoustic properties of inner shelf sediment in the South and Southeastern Seas of Korea have been studied based on six piston core samples. The sediments are largely composed of homogeneous mud except the core from the southeasternmost part of the area. Both physical and geoacoustic properties and mean grain size are relatively uniform with sediment depth, suggesting little effect of sediment compaction and/or consolidation. Mean grain size appears to be the most Important variable to determine the physical and acoustic properties. In contrast, the attenuation shows more or less fluctuations. Correlations between physical properties and sediment texture show slight deviations from those of the compared data, caused by the difference of sedimentary processes, mineral composition, and the difference of measurement system. In particular, the velocity is lower (approximately 20-30 m/s) than that of the previous data measured in the same area. This is probably due to the difference in velocity measurement system (particularly, error by a length of sample). We propose new relationships for physical and geoacoustic characteristics of shelf sediment in the study area.

동해의 독도 사면 지역에서 퇴적물 선상 배양과 $^{15}N$ isotope pairing technique를 이용하여 측정한 퇴적물 산소요구량과 탈질소화율은 각각 $1.04{\sim}9.08\;mmol\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$와 $7.06{\sim}37.67\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$로 유사한 수심의 다른 심해 지역에 비해 모두 높게 측정되었다. 퇴적물 산소요구량과 탈질소화율은 퇴적물 내 유기 탄소 함량이 높은 정점에서 높았으며, 표층 퇴적물 내 유기물 함량은 질산화에 의해 생성된 질산염을 이용하는 탈질소화(coupled nitrification-denitrification)와 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 이는 본 조사 지역의 퇴적물 산소요구량뿐만 아니라 탈질소화율 역시 표층 퇴적물 내 유기물에 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것을 시사한다. 독도 사면 지역의 표층 퇴적물 내 유기 탄소 함량은 $1.8{\sim}2.4%$로 다른 심해 지역보다 높게 측정되었으며, 이는 높은 일차생산량에 의해 내보내기 생산이 높기 때문으로 추정된다. 독도 사면 지역에서 표층 퇴적물 내 유기물 농도는 일차생산에 의한 내보내기 생산에 의해 조절되며, 내보내기 생산이 퇴적물에서 일어나는 퇴적물 산소요구량과 탈질소화율 같은 유기물 분해율의 가장 큰 조절 요인인 것으로 추정된다.

Research for deposits in Nakdong eatuary that research about Nakdong eatuary's sediment flows out in Nakdong-kang so far had been progressed but research about deposits that is flowed in open sea is insufficient. Observed Nakdong eatuary's characteristic of sediment transfer through observation during the second during Buteo 20 days on February 6, 2004 in this research Resuspension bed load Flux appeared high the first result St.4 point and St.5 point. St.4 branch had much bed load amount that is flowed in the east, and bed load that St.5 branch is flowed in the south appeared much Tendency such as the first showed in the second result, but compare with the first result and St.5 branch had much bed load that is transfer in end. Bed load that is transfer in observation result Nakdong river was less. As this, can know that amount of sediment that is transfer in open sea more than deposits that is transfer in Nakdong river is much Is expected to exert effect that deposits that is transfer in open sea is high in Nakdong estuary's topography change. Specially, observation result is expected that Nakdong estuary's deposition tendency becomes Jinwoodo southern and Shinho southern.

The community structure of meiobenthos was studied at 16 stations within sandy tidal and subtidal zones in Jangbongdo in the Yellow Sea, Korea from Aug. 2006 to Jan. 2007. Meiobenthic organisms were collected by three core samples, with a 3.6 cm diameter, from each sediment sample taken with a Smith-McIntyre Grab. Mean grain size of study stations ranged from $1.49{\phi}$ to $3.55{\phi}$. Composition of sand ranged from 80.38% to 99.89%. There was reduction in total abundance and biomass of meiobenthos from summer to winter. Total densities of meiofauna ranged between 17 inds./10 $cm^2$ and 853 inds./10 $cm^2$. Nematodes, gastrotricha, nauplius and harpacticoids appeared as major taxa in decreasing order. This study shows that major taxa comprised 90 percent of total abundance. Most meiofaunal organisms are concentrated in the upper sediment layers and the total abundance and biomass of organisms in the tidal zone is higher than the subtidal zone.

Marine environmental characteristics on the dinoflagellate cysts distribution in surface sediment of the southwest sea of Korea were investigated from 21 stations in September 2003, and 36 stations in June, 2004. The water mass characteristics indicated that the southwest sea of Korea is characterized by various oceanographic conditions due to coastal waters of Korea and China. The Tsushima warm currents and the cold bottom water of the Yellow Sea. Mud contents and chlorophyll a concentrations were higher in central region such as, Namhaedo, Yeosu and Goheung coast than in western region such as, Wando, Haenam and Jindo coast in the South Sea of Korea. A total of 35 taxa of dinoflagellate cysts were identified representing 21 genera, 33 species, 2 unidentified species. Cyst abundance ranged from 13 to 527 cysts $g-dry^{-1}$, showing higher abundance in the coastal areas than in western region of the South Sea of Korea. From the result of the PCA analysis, the distribution of dinoflagellate cysts was not only related to the different water masses which appeared in the southwestern sea but also to physical and biological parameters such as water temperature, light, surface sediment faces and phytoplankton biomass.

심해저 망간단괴 채광에 따른 저층생태환경의 변화를 평가하기 위한 기초환경연구의 일환으로 북동적도 태평양 심해저 퇴적물 내의 총 ATP(T-ATP), 용존 ATP(D-ATP) 그리고 입자성 ATP(P-ATP)의 농도 및 수직분포양상을 연구하였다. T-ATP는 퇴적물 6 cm 깊이 내에서 4.4~40.6, D-ATP는 0.6~16.1, 그리고 P-ATP는 3.0~29.2 ng/g dry sediment의 범위로 변했다. T-ATP의 약 84%, D-ATP의 약 81% 그리고 P-ATP의 약 74%가 표층 퇴적물 2 cm 이내에 분포하는 것으로 나타났으며, 분포양상이 퇴적물 내의 함수율과 높은 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 심해저 퇴적물 내의 미생물(P-ATP) 분포가 수층으로부터 전달되는 유기탄소에 의해 결정됨을 의미한다. 다중주상 시료채집기를 사용해 획득한 퇴적물에서 P-ATP 최대층이 0~0.5 cm 깊이 내에 존재하는 것으로 나타나, 표층이 교란되는 상자형 퇴적물 채집기보다는 다중주상 시료채집기가 심해저 퇴적물내 ATP의 미세수직구조의 연구를 위해서 더욱 효과적인 것으로 판명되었다. 결론적으로 ATP 농도가 퇴적물 깊이 6cm 이내에서 뚜렷한 수직분포양상을 보이는 것으로 미루어, ATP 분포양상이 향후 심해저 광업에 따른 미생물 생체량 변화를 평가하기 위한 유용한 환경기초자료로 사용될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

To assess community structure and diversity of archaea, a clone sequencing analysis based on an archaeal 16S rRNA gene was conducted at three sediment depths of the continental slope and Ulleung Basin in the East Sea. A total of 311 and 342 clones were sequenced at the slope and basin sites, respectively. Marine Group I, which is known as the ammonia oxidizers, appeared to predominate in the surface sediment of both sites (97.3% at slope, 88.5% at basin). In the anoxic subsurface sediment of the slope and basin, the predominant archaeal group differed noticeably. Marine Benthic Group B dominated in the subsurface sediment of the slope. Marine Benthic Group D and Miscellaneous Crenarchaeotal Group were the second largest archaeal group at 8-9 cm and 18-19 cm depth, respectively. Marine Benthic Group C of Crenarchaeota occupied the highest proportion by accounting for more than 60% of total clones in the subsurface sediments of the basin site. While archaeal groups that use metal oxide as an electron acceptor were relatively more abundant at the basin sites with manganese (Mn) oxide-enriched surface sediment, archaeal groups related to the sulfur cycle were more abundant in the sulfidogenic sediments of the slope. Overall results indicate that archaeal communities in the Ulleung Basin show clear spatial variation with depth and sites according to geochemical properties the sediment. Archaeal communities also seem to play a significant role in the biogeochemical carbon (C), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), and metal cycles at each site.

This study presents results from a detailed sedimentological investigation of surface sediments obtained from the Korea Strait region, the southern part of the East Sea (Sea of Japan). The distribution of different types of bottom sediments is controlled by the recent fine-grained sediment transport and deposition combined with the lowerings of sea level during the last glacial period, forming a diverse mixture of organic-rich fine-grained and shelly coarse-grained sediments. In comparison to high organic concentration of fine-grained sediments in the inner continental shelf and slope areas, the shell-rich coarse-grained sediments on the outer shelf are discernible being further modified. These coarse-grained sediments are confirmed as relict resulting from the sediment dynamics during the lower sea levels of the last glacial period. Clay mineral distribution of the fine-grained sediments gives information about the transport mechanism. Presence of present-day current system (the Tsushima Warm Current) is most probable source for the fine-grained particles into the open East Sea from the East China Sea, indicating that Holocene sediment dynamics may be used to explain the observed distribution of surface coarse-grained shell-rich sediments.
